Best: The early 30's cute cashier girl at my morning coffee stop told me that me that I made her feel warm and fuzzy.
Worst: Im at a fish fry and was wearing a Martin Guitar t-shirt (which I don't have one, went to the factory). This kid asked if I played. "Yes", I replied. He asked what guitar(s) I had. I tell him in no specific terms, "Three Telecaster's, a Stratocaster, and a couple of acoustics". He replied with a smirk, "Well I hate to tell you this, but no one will take you seriously unless you play a Dean or a Schecter".

He was 17, do the math.
